Brief History of the Communist Movement in Palestine and Israel

By Nikos Mottas 

The communist movement in Palestine and Israel is as old as the twentieth century upheavals that reshaped the Middle East. It is not the story of dominant political forces or large armies, but of a small and persistent current that, for over a century, has tried to carve out a political path distinct from partition, conquest, and exclusion. Palestinian and Israeli communists—Arabs and Jews—built joint organizations, resisted colonialism, opposed military occupation, and spoke for coexistence at moments when the surrounding climate favored division and hostility.

Israeli Society Must Rise: Ofer Cassif Calls to Resist Fascism and Genocide

In an interview published by Zo HaDerech, Knesset Member Ofer Cassif (Hadash–Communist Party of Israel) issued one of his sharpest denunciations yet of Israel’s political direction. With uncompromising clarity, Cassif accused the government of orchestrating genocide in Gaza, ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, and erecting what he calls a fascist regime within Israel itself. 

Far from being isolated crimes or tragic mistakes, he argued, these are the pillars of a calculated plan that has been years in the making—one that aims to secure permanent domination over Palestinians while dismantling democracy for Jews and Arabs alike.

The two faces of Israel from a Marxist perspective

By Nikos Mottas 

The recent mass demonstrations held in Israel against the heinous plans of the Netanyahu Government to takeover Gaza remind us that societies aren't monolithic entities; they contain conflicting forces within them. 

Anyone with a fundamental perception of dialectics can understand the massive contradictions that exist in modern capitalist societies, including the Israeli one. 

Hadash strongly condemns Israeli government's plans for Gaza City takeover: "Nothing less than a war crime"

After the Israeli far-right cabinet last night approved a plan for conquering Gaza City and fully occupying Gaza Strip, the Democratic Front for Peace and Equality (Hadash) slams it as a “disaster that will lead to the deaths of thousands of Palestinians, Israeli hostages and soldiers.”  

 

Hadash calls it a "war crime" and "a total war for the destruction of the Palestinian people, for ethnic cleansing and state terrorism".

Promote the two-state solution and the Jewish-Arab partnership

The brutal war of annihilation raging in Gaza raises many questions about the solution to the problem that is the basis for instability and many conflicts in the Middle East – namely, the Palestinian issue.
